Free Download Reflections of Amma : devotees in a global embrace By Mata Amritanandamayi; Lucia, Amanda J.; Mata Amritanandamayi 2014 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0520281136 | EPUB + PDF | 19 MB Globally known as Amma, meaning "Mother," Mata Amritanandamayi has developed a massive transnational humanitarian organization based in hugs. She is familiar to millions as the hugging saint," a moniker that derives from her elaborate darshan programs wherein nearly every day ten thousand people are embraced by the guru one at a time, events that routinely last ten to twenty hours without any rest for her. Although she was born in 1953 as a low-caste girl in a South Indian fishing village, today millions revere her as guru and goddess, a living embodiment of the divine on earth. Reflections of Amma focuses on communities of Amma's devotees in the United States, showing how they endeavor to mirror their guru's behaviors and transform themselves to emulate the ethos of the movement. This study argues that inheritors" and adopters" of Hindu traditions differently interpret Hindu goddesses, Amma, and her relation to feminism and women's empowerment because of their inherited religious, cultural, and political dispositions. In this insightful ethnographic analysis, Amanda J. Lucia discovers how the politics of American multiculturalism reifies these cultural differences in de facto congregations," despite the fact that Amma's embrace attempts to erase communal boundaries in favor of global unity.

Free Download Frank Sanello, "Reel V. Real: How Hollywood Turns Fact into Fiction" English | 2002 | pages: 240 | ISBN: 0878332685 | EPUB | 9,3 mb All too often, highly fictionalized cinematic depictions of the past are accepted as the unassailable truth by those unfamiliar with the "real" account. This book profiles sixty movies that portray actual moments in history, and compares the mythologized account of each event to what really happened. Movies chronicled include The Ten Commandments, Spartacus, A Man for All Seasons, Gladiator, Gandhi, Apollo 13, The Thin Red Line, Dances with Wolves, Braveheart, The Last Emperor, All the Presidents Men, Mutiny on the Bounty, Gone with the Wind, Bonnie & Clyde, Patton, and Elizabeth. Sanello also contrasts several historical figures with their filmed treatments, including Julius Caesar, Henry V, Christopher Columbus, Joan of Arc, Sir Thomas More, Jesus Christ, Catherine the Great, Sigmund Freud, and Harry Houdini. Lavishly illustrated with sixty film stills, Reel v. Real shows how a happening's genuine details are frequently reshaped and distorted by Hollywood's bottomless appetite for over-the-top flamboyance and melodrama.

Free Download J. I. Packer, "Rediscovering Holiness: Know the Fullness of Life with God" English | 2009 | ISBN: 0801018137, 1433572818 | EPUB | pages: 286 | 1.2 mb "There was a time," writes renowned theologian J. I. Packer in this classic book on biblical holiness, "when all Christians laid great emphasis on God's call to holiness. But how different it is today! To listen to our sermons and to read the books we write, and then to watch the zany, worldly, quarrelsome way we behave, you would never imagine that once the highway of holiness was clearly marked out for Bible-believers." In this revised and updated edition of Rediscovering Holiness, the highway is once more clearly marked out for a new generation of readers, pointing to true freedom and joy, both now and in eternity.  Free Download Redefreiheit in der Wissenschaft - wo sind ihre Grenzen? Deutsch | 2024 | ISBN: 3662686023 | 167 Seiten | PDF (True) | 0.7 MB Die Debatte um Redefreiheit und ihre Grenzen wird lebhaft, teils sehr emotional geführt. Soll man gegen die Äußerungen einer gender-kritischen Philosophin Stellung beziehen, die man im Verdacht hat, transphob zu sein? Darf man politische Agitatoren zu einer Lehrveranstaltung einladen? Sollte man einen renommierten Professor von einer Konferenz ausladen, wenn er einen verschwörungstheoretischen Appell unterzeichnet hat? Der Autor versucht, diese Debatten von Ideologisierungen zu befreien und zu zeigen, wie sich solche Fragen nüchtern und vorurteilsfrei beantworten lassen. Dabei entwickelt er Kriterien, die es ermöglichen, im Einzelfall zu entscheiden, ob eine Einschränkung von Redehandlungen legitim ist. Er unterscheidet verschiedene Formen der Einschränkung von Redehandlungen und verschiedene Formen des Schadens, der durch eine solche Einschränkung verhindert werden soll. So können Argumente statt Ideologien vorgebracht werden, um die Grenzen der Redefreiheit in der Wissenschaft zubestimmen.

Free Download Red Flags, Green Flags: Modern Psychology for Everyday Drama by Dr Ali Fenwick English | 2024 | ISBN: 0241653681 | 320 Pages | ePUB | 0.97 MB  Free Download Julie Chajes, "Recycled Lives: A History of Reincarnation in Blavatsky's Theosophy " English | ISBN: 0190909137 | 2019 | 230 pages | EPUB | 1237 KB A sizeable minority of people with no particular connection to Eastern religions now believe in reincarnation. The rise in popularity of this belief over the last century and a half is directly traceable to the impact of the nineteenth century's largest and most influential Western esoteric movement, the Theosophical Society. In Recycled Lives, Julie Chajes looks at the rebirth doctrines of the matriarch of Theosophy, the controversial occultist Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891). Examining her teachings in detail, Chajes places them in the context of multiple dimensions of nineteenth-century intellectual and cultural life. In particular, she explores Blavatsky's readings (and misreadings) of Spiritualist currents, scientific theories, Platonism, and Hindu and Buddhist thought. These in turn are set in relief against broader nineteenth-century American and European trends. The chapters come together to reveal the contours of a modern perspective on reincarnation that is inseparable from the nineteenth-century discourses within which it emerged, and which has shaped how people in the West tend to view reincarnation today. |
